Cosplayers at a Star Trek Convention, 1976

[foone]

in this house we have endless respect for cosplayers from the days before VCRs.

You couldn’t just rewatch the episode to look at all the details of the costume. You got lucky with press photos showing up in magazines or you just watched the episode/movie while sketching furiously

[silencedrowns]

thinking about that one woman who made a Star Wars flight suit in 1977 entirely from trading cards and sketching details in the theater. or stories I’ve heard about old school Trek cosplayers getting the bizarre seam placements right by photocopying magazines onto overhead transparencies and projecting them onto butcher paper.

I’m a semi old school cosplayer (started in 2001) so some of the old school techniques are still things I learned on (I’ve sketched from stuttering VHS tapes on pause and used the overhead transparency trick)… what we have access to now for costume recreation blows what they had out of the water just in terms of reference material, let alone specialty costume supplies like thermoplastics and cosplay wigs.

That Star Wars fan who made the flight suit from trading cards and movie sketches is TJ Burnside and she is still with us. In fact, I am adding to her Fanlore page with info about the flight suit (and how it went viral on Twitter and Redditt a few years back). Fanlore.org, is a fan run fandom history wiki. Stay tuned.

Her (sadly) barebones Fanlore page is here: https://fanlore.org/wiki/T.J._Burnside

“How long have you been in this sport again?” V laughed darkly, “One of us could die on track and they still wouldn’t care.”

“Just make sure it’s not you.” Jackie put his hand on her shoulder, “I’ll make sure it’s not you.” He pressed her helmet into her hands.

Imagine you’re a humble civilian in Victorian London being threatened randomly by these no-good blighters.

And then you’re saved by these two people, twins actually if you looked closer, and they completely fit-mog you. Frye twins outfit-maxxing for their aura stats. The sub5 overdressed rags Blighters vs their humble superior Frye twins

I don’t know.
